I took a look at the accommodations diagram of the boat. Can you spell D-E-A-T-H-T-R-A-P?

One, single person stairwell, or ladder, exit route for 30+ sleeping passengers. The crew was, apparently, sleeping on deck, which accounts for them getting off.

Was the doomed boat LOCKED? Emergency dispatcher is heard asking the captain if he can go back and unlock the deck where passengers were sleeping

Very interesting. Adds to the derp factor, IMO.
